I have revised the TACORIDE route to make it harder and more fun! Also, I've figured that a great day to try and run the TACORIDE is the day of the BICYCLE BASH at Flatwoods. Why is this a good time you may ask?

Because the TACO BUS will be serving food at Flatwoods!!!Because we can drop Mayor Buckhorn on the Paved Loop! Because it will make riding through Flatwoods LESS BORING!!!

Happy to see that the usual suspects are IN. Scott, NOBODY is allowed to work on Sundays, come on!

Jonsey: thanks for finding and posting the route, and working with Steve to set up some food. Let us know what we can expect when you know (and the cost).

Karlos: this ride is different from what we did with Rob. The TACORIDE goes along the Hillsborough river up to Flatwoods, while the ride we did with Rob followed the canal. That ride was unpleasant at times. But you will still be able to peel off at the same spot where we got off the canal and took the road up to the Fort King trail, so your plan should work just like last time.

The TACORIDE, it should be clear, involves a substantial amount of road riding. The roads that follow the river are often old, crappy, bricky and can be hilly. I think they are fun, but then again I am a roadie. Traffic will not be a big deal, but blinkies are still recommended.

I have arranged to have bbq lunch served at New World consisting of delicious pork bombs, greens , and baked beans. Awesome pizzas are also available. Cost should be under $7 per person. I should also be able to get us happy hour pricing on beers.

I think MK and I are running ss, so no one with gears should have a problem keeping pace on the road sections. The single track might split us up a little, but we will wait for everyone at the turns. Last time it was a no drop ride.
